A Microsoft meet-up during E3 will offer the first-ever public opportunity to play with Xbox One’s controller. According to a post on Major Nelson’s blog, Microsoft will hold an event on Monday, June 10th at the Microsoft Store in Century City from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pacific.

The event will feature Major Nelson “and members of the Xbox team as we show off Xbox One to the public for the first time.” The event’s description notes that fans can “see the Xbox One with your own eyes, plus take the Xbox One controller for a spin and see (and feel) for yourself the improvements we’ve made to one of the best controllers in gaming.” Major Nelson teased that he “may have one or two other surprises there as well.”

The event will be completely free, but “we expect a crowd, so I recommend getting there early.”
